    And don’t forget that Spotify can only handle around 150 songs in the queue. It doesn’t matter how big a playlist is, it will start repeat after a while. The proposed solution by spotify itself is to just deactivate shuffle and start on different songs in large playlist. It’s absolutely ridiculous. It bothers thousands of people but they won’t fix it. https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/All-Platforms-Option-to-have-a-true-shuffle/idi-p/4880594

      What? Only 150? Is it some unoptimized list of their in-house song objects? I don’t understand how it can be the inefficient. Please tell me they just need to use an array and this isn’t them doing that.

        I’ve read somewhere some time ago that they generally prefer the songs/files that are already cached somewhere close to the user to reduce costs for traffic whenever the user leaves the choice to Spotify

        But why would i need an extension for that; id much rather they get rid of the smart shuffle (legit the most annoying fucking thing on the app, or just a toggle to keep it off) and fix the shuffle on their own
